Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

A couple heterozygous for albinism (both Aa), has a 1 in 4 (25% or 0.25) probability of having an albino child (aa). Because albinism is an autosomal recessive disorder, the child must inherit the recessive allele (a) from both parents to exhibit the condition. 

Key Genetic Probabilities:

  • 1/4 (25%) chance for an Albino Child (aa)
  • 2/4 (50%) chance for a Heterozygous Carrier (Normal) Child (Aa)
  • 1/4 (25%) chance for a Homozygous Normal Child (AA)
